Java Programming Language Java is a high-level language developed by James Gosling and others at sun microsystems (a company which has since been acquired by Oracle Corporation in 2010) in 1992 to resolve the problems of portability means a program written on one machine can be run or execute on other machines without recompiling it. This is achieved by converting source code into bytecode then in machine code. Java compiler converts the source code into bytecode, then java virtual machine converts that bytecode into machine code. So that bytecode can be run on every computer where there is JVM exists regardless of any environment and we don't need to recompile the program. The second aspect of developing java was networking because internet also requires portability means one website should be run on any computer. Java consists of several versions like J2SE (Java 2 Stand-Alone Edition) used to develop desktop applications and applets (the special type of programs which ru...
